""Trusting and acknowledging God in government is not only constitutional, it is the very basis and the mainstay of our free republic.""

AMEN, brother! And if we lose this, we are indeed done for!

Ok I have tried to google for US Department of Justice crime stats to no avail. I have seen a lot of anectotal references to such as this

Eighty percent of all arrests occurred in three states--California, Texas, and Arizona. Specifically, about 58 percent of all arrests occurred in California, 14 percent in Texas, and 8 percent in Arizona.

But given that that was for ALL types of arrests it is not credible that 19000 murders were charged in those 4 states since Texas averages about 1200 murders per year. California averages about 2500 murders per year. Illegals would have to be responsible for at least half of those yearly murder rates to reach 19,000 and since only about 14 % of illegals are charged with violent crimes it just doesn't appear to be possible.
